The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born. – Malala Yousafzai

People say Malala’s voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala’s voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala’s voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women’s rights, and peace. – Malala Yousafzai

We should all consider each other as human beings, and we should respect each other. – Malala Yousafzai

Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don’t I take a step and move forward. – Malala Yousafzai

I discovered Deborah Ellis’s books in the school library after my head teacher encouraged me to go beyond the school curriculum and look for books I might enjoy. – Malala Yousafzai

I think life is always dangerous. Some people get afraid of it. Some people don’t go forward. But some people, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to go. They have to move… We have seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century in Swat. So why should I be afraid now? – Malala Yousafzai
